Thanks to both of you! I've heard that OSU is "picky" when evaluating students who went there for undergrad, but at the end of the day there's really no way for me to predict that lol. Also, I've heard both sides regarding whether or not to work before getting my master's. I currently plan on applying to programs straight out of undergrad for a variety of reasons, but nothing is set in stone yet and I'm definitely still looking into getting a job beforehand.

Hi All, This year I'll be applying to Higher Education and Student Affairs programs (I will be a senior this year.) Right now, I'm currently in the process of determining exactly what schools I want to apply to. At one point, I was told by another student that it looks "better" to attend a grad school that is different from your undergraduate institution if you want to work in student affairs. Currently, I attend Ohio State, which has a pretty good HESA program. While I would love to place OSU's program high on my list, I don't want to hinder my future career prospects. In you all's experience, does it really put you at a disadvantage to have attended the same institution for both grad school and undergrad?
